When can I start driving my car now that the screen has been fixed?

Well, I am sure that you are dying to start driving your car now that the screen has been repaired and it is absolutely safe to drive. But the process is not that easy. And thus, you should always ask your company specifically that when can you start driving your vehicle again. This actually depends on the type of adhesive that has been used to seal the car glass into its moulding. The adhesive should completely dry before you can start driving it and the drying period of one adhesive might differ from another. This will also depend on the humidity and temperature of the place where you reside. While some dry within an hour, others might take an entire day. It is not at all safe to drive a car just after the glass has been fixed.

When can I wash my car again?

After the car windscreen repair has been done, it is very important that you wait for some time before you wash the vehicle. The best solution to this query is to ask the company about this. They will be able to specify you about this issue. While some may suggest you to wait for at least a day before washing the car using a high-pressure cleaner, others might ask you to wait for about a week. This will all depend on the quality of the glass, the adhesive used and etc. High-pressure water can wreck the adhesive and the moldings if the drying process is incomplete. But if you are thinking of giving it a traditional scrub using soapy water and your hands, you can definitely go ahead. But make sure that you don’t put excessive pressure on the glasses.

Do you have any maintenance tips?

Well, the experts will always have some advice to give you. But if they are not direct about it, you can ask them about the tips and maintenance procedures required so that the durability and sturdiness of the glasses are up to the mark.
